Of course, not everyone is a member of AHCA and receives the magazine. As for the BJ8 Registry, I try as much as possible to publicize the registry in as many ways as possible, including participating on this list and on the British Car Forum, having links to the BJ8 Registry hosted on several Healey-related websites, etc. I think a lot of owners have little idea what a registry is and does -- or they think they do and they are wrong; and even if they are aware of them they don't make the effort to contact the registrar to find out what the registry can do for them.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'>I gave a presentation about the BJ8 Registry at Enclave last summer, but that was sort of preaching to the choir.
